Classic Car Raffle

On a regular basis, the Thunder Bay Museum raffles off a classic car, with proceeds going directly towards supporting the museum’s operation.

The Thunder Bay Museum does not plan, at this time, to conduct a Classic Car Raffle in 2025. Instead, we are excited to present a variety of entertaining and engaging events with fundraising and charitable gaming components throughout the year. Keep an eye on our EVENTS webpage for updates. If you are interested in volunteering to help out sign up at our VOLUNTEER webpage.

The Museum purchases its raffle cars and has rarely acquired any via donation. However, should someone wish to explore the possibility of donating a car for a future raffle for a tax receipt, please contact the Museum’s Executive Director.

Congratulations Doug Heaman of Arva, Ontario on winning the Thunder Bay Museum’s 2024 Classic Car Raffle. Enjoy your 1969 Pontiac Firebird!

We would like to thank you following people and organizations for their contributions to making this raffle possible: Volunteers from the Thunder Bay Museum, Leon’s Furniture, Beefcake Burgers, Tronsen Automotive, Dougall Media, Canadian Tire Thunder Centre, Northern Ontario Classic Cruisers Car Club, Superior Classic Car Club, Fat Guys Auto Parts, and the Atikokan Vintage Iron Auto Club.

2024 Classic Car Raffle

Prize: 1969 Pontiac Firebird, professionally appraised at $46,500.00
Draw Date: 6 September 2024
Winning Ticket Number: 99004395005

The second-generation Pontiac Firebird was manufactured by General Motors. Announcing a Pontiac styling trend, the Firebird’s bumpers were integrated into the design of the front end, giving it a more streamlined look than the Camaro at the time. In 1969, the design of the Firebird was updated to “Trans Am performance”.

This original, automatic 1969 Pontiac Firebird 2-door hardtop sport coupe has had a recent professional restoration to all components and has been reconditioned to a very high show car quality.
